There are around 6 popular breaks (El Sunzal, Punta Roca, La Paz, K.59, La Bocana, etc.) on the weekend for the people of San Salvador but there are lots more that are not accesible for them.

Punta Roca: In the city of La Libertad you will find a world class right point break. Good waves at both tides but gets pretty shallow on low tide, also be carefull with "mama roca" a big rock that pumps out in your wave at low tide. There are three main sections, the end of the point is a hollow and fast wave also called "The point". There is also mid point section in front of the cementary and the inside cove, right in front of the town's restaurants is called "La Paz". A mellower wave where all the town's kids learn to surf and have a fun evening session. This section is good for longboarding. This town is the country's surf capital, where you will find surf shops, board rentals and repair shops like "Hospital de Tablas" and "Button's repair shop".

Conchalio, Cocal and San Blas: more than 10km of good beach breaks. Also at Cocal: a small right point.

Bocana: It is the only good quality left point break in the country! There is some localism attitude for this break but the people are usually very friendly in all our country. It is a powerfull left with a nice wall, it can get hollow on mid tide going low.

Sunzal: is probably the most popular surf spot in El Salvador. It consists of a long and slow right and a short somewhat hollow section in the inside section. This break is always bigger than all other Salvadorian breaks and more consistant too. It is a rock bottom and deep water break and it is said that it will hold it's perfection in any size swell. Paddling out at sunzal can be loong because it has some current near the beach that gets stronger in rainy season. During pre-sunrise sessions the current is usually calm and the surf is at its best. The outside section can give rides more than 100 yards long but during low tide the inside section gets hollow and a lot better for shortboards. There´s also a couple of board repair shops and small surf town scene.

Palmarcito: right point, not very good, it is good for beginners.

Zonte: right point break with beautifull settings of the headlands and some restaurants right in front of the break. There are a few surfcamps and cheap acomodations. When the surf is small there is a very nice hollow section. It is best on November to December.

KM 59: right point. It is in a gated comunity of beach houses but the break is a rock bottom that has good hollow waves. Best at mid tide comming in. There is access to house owners or Punta Mango guests.

KM 61: right point. Mellower wave in the other side of the point of k.59.

La Perla and Shalpa: beach breaks.

Mizata: left and right point break.

Fisherman's Point: There is an easy right hand break with rock bottom that is very consistant and there is a hollow left at that same point. At the other side of the break there is a nice sand bottom left but is hard to find it breaking.
There are many abandoned beaches and points with sandy bottoms, there are lots more of surf spots between La Libertad and the airport that are not popular and not well known by surfers (but well known by Punta Mango guides!). From the airport to El Espino in Usulutan there are more than 100 miles of beach breaks which are very good and a few unexplored point breaks just wating to be explored.


The East Coast
Las flores: Very consistant right point break. It is a sandy bottom waves with loong rides and a hollow outside section but there are no places to stay and sleep around. The break is very good for everyone, loongboarders and short boarders.

Punta Mango: Powerfull right point difficult to access by car, it is a lot loke Punta Roca: a hollow fast wave.

La Ventana: right point break that is very shallow at low tide.

Lucky Man's: This break has a beautifull settings beacuse it is at the start of our Gulf. It has Nicaragua and Honduras mountains at the background. As it is in a gulf, the waves have to be in a big swell to wrap around, but it is a loong and mellow ride.
There are also many secret spots and miles and miles of beach breaks.


The West Coast
Acajutla: This town has a big port nearby so there is a lot of restaurants, tranport industries and sailors around. There are a few breaks right in front of the restaurants strip, it is a beach break and a small point break right besides the Texaco headquarters.

From Acajutla all the way to Guatemala there are lots of beachbreaks and rivermouths that may occasionally break. For example there is La Barra de Santiago, that has a rivermouth that get good occasionally. This part of the country is particularily good for scuba diving and snorqueling. You will find white and shell sand beaches with lots of rock coral and reef, there is also shipwrecks and it is great for fishing too. Contact us for special packages and quotes.
